I found a good site for translating English to ANCIENT GREEK (HELLENE), but I am having trouble deciding which words to use, as some English words have multiple uses in Ancient Greek and vice verse. Also, one I can't find a literal translation, so I was hoping you guys could help me find the proper words in CONTEXT.

1.) English: Gate
Context: A city gate. A portal in a city wall.

2.) English: Corral
Context: As in a place to store animals: goats, pigs, horses, etc.

3.) English: Merchant Ship
Context: A seagoing vessel engaged in commercial activity and/or trade.

The words in proper contextual form will be used in the upcoming game "0 A.D." Check it out here: www.wildfiregames.com/0ad

Gate = pili (or pule as it says) it is written same modern and ancient Greek

Corral = stable (stavlos in modern Greek)

Merchant ship = emporiko plio in modern Greek ( )
